ARID
Graphic Design, Illustration, Animation, Photography, Sculpture, Music, Screenwriting
In September 2023, John Brown University my first ever gallery called ‘Arid.’ The gallery consisted of graphic design, digital illustration, animation, photography, sculpture, a supplemental 5-track EP, and a published screenplay.
The gallery was open from September 1 to September 18 in JBU’s student gallery space.

THE OPENING
On September 15, 2023, I debuted ‘Arid’ to the public. The gallery opened at John Brown University’s student gallery space and ran for two weeks. Over one hundred people came to the event and took part in the ‘Arid’ experience, while hundreds visited throughout the run of the gallery.
In addition to the work on display, I performed the full music project. DJ 4:12 joined me onstage as we debuted the new project. I handed out copies of the screenplay that coincided with the story of the gallery as it would allow the story to continue beyond the work in the gallery.
It was such an amazing experience to share this very intimate and personal project with peers, friends, family, and strangers.
